I'm trying to compile Kmymoney 0.8 for my ppc. I can do the it ok on my debian on an intel, with the same source code.
On the ppc (an eMac), when I do the configure, I get the same messages:

Has anyone an idea of what to do?

Try apt-get install build-essential you are missing g++ this package should install it along with some other programs you should probably have.

Hi HT,

Thanks for the info. I used:

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential

to get the other bits and pieces I needed to build my Qt apps, particularly g++. Qt Creator, which I'm taking for a test drive only just today, needs g++ for its builds. Seems g++ doesn't come as standard equipment on Kubuntu's distro, and I wasn't sure how to go about getting g++ without having to download and build the whole damn GNU toolchain (I'm kinda new at this). Your suggestion spared me a lot of anguish. Thanks a bunch!
